Emperor Vs. Birju Marwari and ors.

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-04-1921

Reported in: (1922)ILR44All157

Piggott and Walsh, JJ.1. In the Court of Session of Gorakhpur, as established under Section 9 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, there is a Sessions Judge and there are, or have been, also two Additional Sessions Judges. There was a criminal appeal filed by Birju and others against their conviction by a Magistrate. So far as the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure go any one of the Judges of the Court of Session competent to exercise jurisdiction in the said court could lawfully have heard that appeal. For the convenience of the administration the Local Government had limited the powers of the Second Additional Sessions Judge to the trial of cases or appeals made over to him by the Sessions Judge. This particular appeal was made over to the Second Additional Sessions Judge, but circumstances subsequently occurred which made it more convenient for the Sessions Judge to hear the appeal himself. After proper notice to the parties he proceeded to do so. The question has been raise...

Hakim NaziruddIn and anr. Vs. Musammat Achchi Begam

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jan-04-1921

Reported in: 64Ind.Cas.988

1. This appeal arises but of a suit for profits under Section 164 of the Tenancy Act by a co-sharer against a Lambardar. The suit was filed on the 29th of January 1919, that is to say, in 1326 Fasli. The plaintiff seated to be a co-sharer in 1322 Fasli. The profits claimed were the profits for the years 1319 to 1321 Fasli, On the face of it, it is obvious that the suit is time-barred. It is alleged, however, that this is not so because the collections were actually made in 1322 and 1323 Fasli for the years 1319--1321 Fasli. Both the Courts below have dismissed the suit as barred by limitation and, in our opinion, rightly. The limitation governing a suit under Section 164 of the Tenancy Act is laid down in the Fourth Schedule, Group B, Serial Number 16, and is three years from the time when the share of the profits became payable. In Section 163 of the Act it is enacted that 'in the absence of any determination of the date by the Settlement Officer or of an express agreement among the c...
